TAGGED WITH social robotics
Everyone, guess how fast is it?
The new design could assist the elderly as they age in place at home.
The hospitality industry can leverage the gender characteristics of service robots to influence customers' decisions, according to new research from a team in the Penn State School of Hospitality Management.
Service robots have evolved from simple automated machines to intelligent adaptive systems that can navigate unpredictable environments and interact with humans.
TAGGED WITH soft robotics
Engineers at Princeton and North Carolina State University have combined ancient paper folding and modern materials science to create a soft robot that bends and twists through mazes with ease.
A research team from ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich (UZH) has developed a novel approach to treating spinal cord injuries: controllable microrobots deliver stem cells directly to the site of an injury, where they promote nerve cell regeneration.
Cornell engineers have developed a robotic collective that behaves less like a machine and more like a material that flows, reshapes and adapts to its environment without centralized control.
From hospital wards to crop fields, from microscopic swarms to biohybrid machines powered by fungi, robotics research at Cornell spans an astonishing range of scale, application and ambition.

In this episode, we talk about how researchers have created a system for predicting job automation and providing alternatives to current workers along with the impacts of carbon dioxide productivity.
This clever solution for robotic engraving on unknown, curved surfaces uses Photoneo 3D vision to get an accurate point cloud. The 3D data is then used for the creation of an optimal trajectory to navigate the robot with high precision.
The MGV (Mechanical Guidance Vehicle) device is a self-controlling device without a driver. The guidance system of this device is mechanical, without a driver. Rough surfaces, which are one of the limitations of the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) device, do not exist for this device.
With growing concern over microplastics from ocean waste, autonomous underwater vehicles — AUVs — have been proposed as a tool for cleaning up our seas, but only if they can pick the plastics out from the fish: Enter these tweaked EfficientDets, boosting accuracy for the task.
Understanding the basics of functional safety.
One of the main things people are interested in when solving a complex robotic manipulator problem is the DoF and Functions. These two distinct pieces of terminology help to shortcut conversations and make sure everyone is talking on the same page!
